I have enjoyed getting to know ASIH better, especially now that, as a #NewPI I am trying to involve interested students in ichs & #herpetology

I fully support changing the name. (1/3)

I’d be *proud* as a #HERper to talk about future & past pubs as being in the “Ichs & Herps journal (formerly Copeia).” That opens doors to convo (eg Public: “why did the name change?” Us: “we wanted to strengthen our society by showing it’s a place for all scientists.”). (2/3)

It also feels more just and less shameful than saying “in the journal Copeia, which is only interested in one facet of the scientist for whom it is named...ignore that other stuff.”
